I drank half a bottle of Insignia Rio for a bet way back in the mid 90s.
Just typing the name brings back the terrible smell and taste, it was with me for a good few days at the time, unlike the contents of my stomach shortly after downing it...

Many of those old classics don't smell the same as they did back in the 60s and 70s because the muppets in Brussels have outlawed some of the more interesting raw materials, nitro-musks for example. That's also the reason why women's perfumes are smelling more and more the same nowadays.

Kouros was the fist aftershave developed for the embryonic gay market (at the time)
Paco Rabanne was the Iranin students "poof water" of choice when I was at Uni

I was a Denim/ Blue Stratos man (for men who think they are seagulls)

Whate ever happened to Crabtree and Evelyn?

All the perfumes are smeeling similar, not because of outlawed raw materials, but because everyon eis competing for the same demographic groups and trying to match each others scents ... it's a bit like X Factor - appeal enough to a large enough range and you get something really bland.

The only stand out stuff at the moment is from Thierry Muegler ... and that smells plain nasty
